If you love Rocky Road ice cream this will be your new favorite brownie.
It’s a chocolate brownie with chocolate chips, marshmallows and peanuts. So good.
Kids will have fun mixing the brownie batter, and then making the rocky road topping, which you layer on toward the end of the baking process.
We used peanuts in our recipe, but you can substitute with any nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds).
We also used Dutch chocolate cocoa powder but you can substitute with dark chocolate cocoa.
REMEMBER that the cocoa we use is not hot cocoa powder which is very different. Unsweetened cocoa powder is specifically used for baking and it bitter. When added to recipes with sugar, it gives a bold chocolatey flavor.
Here is what you need
Topping:
1 1/4 Cups mini marshmallows
1 Cup chocolate chips
1/2 Cup nuts
Batter:
1/2 Cup butter (1 stick)
1 Cup granulated sugar

1/2 Cup all-purpose flour
